If an American answered anyone other than Lincoln, that person needs to take US History again

I loved Abraham Lincoln and all he stood for. He's my hero and I'm proud to call him a president. Debby

Mr Lincoln must be rolling over in his grave this day.

"A house divided against itself cannot stand" Abraham Lincoln was a very wise man. too bad he died so young.

The proclamation did not free all American slaves, it did not even free all Southern slaves. The Emancipation only applied to parts of the South the Union had not yet conquered; slavery continued in the border states.

My, (2nd), favorite president because he won in 61, and I was born in 61❤️❤️❤️

George, Mr Lincoln was a Bible reader and that's where quote comes from in Matthew chapter 12 and verse 25 and also in Mark 3:25

There’re two presidents I most respect and would love to meet. First one is President Lincoln, second is President Thomas Jefferson.

Katy can do
RockNRollMama82, AGREE!!

President Washington
HarlemzFlyGirl, true but the background is he had to keep his support intact as there was slave states still in the Union and the war was hardly won.
